Mining history

Hard coal has been mined in the mine since at least 1713 , later the mine was set within deadlines . In 1733 it was put back into operation. In documents it was noted that the old deferred work, the cleflap . In 1750 the trades of the Cleflappen colliery complained about the actions of the trades of the Blumendelle colliery that they would take away the water for their water wheels .

The documents read:

" ... that the Blumendeller violently conducted a new adit through and about their work and thereby took away the water from the wheel room, where they operated the pomp-shaft with it ... "

As a result of this dispute, a horse art was later set up to operate the pump arts . In 1765 there was a new loan, which also included the Gitzkiel field. Around the year 1780 the Cleflappen colliery was again set deadlines. Around 1796 the Cleflappen colliery was renamed the Klefflappen colliery.
